FUI's course evaluation

INF5012NSA - Research Papers

Assessment:

Choose a question to see data from the student assessment:
How do you rate the course in general? How do you rate the level of the course? How do you rate the work load in proportion to the number of credits achieved? The quality of the lectures? The lectures' relevance and usefulness in regard to relaying what you need to learn? The quality of the group tuition as a whole? In what degree does group tuition and weekly assignments give you practical skills and the possibility to make use of the theory at hand? Are the curriculum and learning outcomes of the course sufficiently defined? How do you rate the course material used (text book etc.)? How do you rate the difficulty level of the obligatory assignments? What is your opinion in regard to the number of obligatory assignments? How do you rate the difficulty level of the final examination? Show all Hide

Summary:

The course has received mixed ratings. Most students are satisfied with the course, and attend lectures. Half the respondents, 50%, rate the course difficulty as OK. Most students, 70%, rate the workload as Too large. Some of the students would like more assessments underway.

The respondents report learning a lot in the course, but there is general agreement that the workload is too large considering the course gives 5 credits. The students would prefer not to use Fronter.

Quotes:

The (final) workload is way higher then what are expected of a 5-credit course. Don’t get me wrong, the task at hand is educational, but the workload surpasses the other (main) areas/courses.

Requires us to read and understand a lot of research papers, workload is too high for a course that only gives 5 credits

Very useful in helping us understand how to work with research papers in practice.

About the course evaluation

The course evaluation is done by students in FUI (Fagutvalget ved Institutt for informatikk), and is based on questionnaires made at the end of each semester.
